The former market place of Paris does not exist anymore since the entire rehabilitation of the district. It has become a giant underground mall. However, you can still stroll through animated paved streets.

Do not miss:

-The City Hall with its 108 Paris historical figures carved into the façade of the building

-Georges Pompidou Centre: one of the most visited cultural place in Paris. Built in the heart of Paris, the singularity and contemporary architecture of this arts and cultural complex will strike visitors with its multicolored external pipes. A touch of avant-garde in one of the oldest districts of Paris!

-Les Halles: enjoy a nice walk through this pleasant and rehabilitated area and open air centre area with the "Fontaine des Innocents", a monumental public fountain, Saint-Eustache church and rue Montorgueil with its nice bars, restaurants and shops

Other places:

-the square of Châtelet, Quai de la Mégisserie (known for its pet shops and garden shops) and Les Halles garden
